> I am seeing the following error message when trying to move a directory:
> "Cannot move directory: /path/to/directory to a subdirectory of itself: /path/to/directory_renamed"
> This statement is iincorrect the destination path is not a sub directory of the source path.
> Looking at the source l.2752 the destination directory is being compared to the source directory without using a File.separator
> Here's a patch for the current trunk.
